  • Fun to sit and watch practice today... Been about 20 years since I was last able. With respect to the late great Randy Turner, the king of Odds and Sods writing.... here's some thoughts: -Al

  • Just to speak to Wolitarsky’s character and just what a good dude he is … few years back, some friends and I went to go see him play at Earl’s on Main and we ended up chatting with him and Streveler …

    Really easy to always say that there's some mystical coach out there that would be a better fit.  We've been through generations as CFL fans watching teams including our own who keep believing that.

of the 3 he should be first to be in the ring,...that being Miller....as he was a player...and then team prez...and turned this turd around.....Osh certainly, and maybe along with Walter's together, tho I think for Kyle it may be a long shot....maybe yrs down the road he could tho

I agree wade has the strongest single case. 
I like the idea of all 3 going up together.

Zach and Bighill go in before Brady, that's for sure. They're in the first wave with Bryant and Willie and Harris. 

I don’t think biggie goes up in any hurry if at all. He’s behind others atleast one big one on D. 
Brady could end up the most prolific Canadian back in history in a couple years. 
 

 

Bighill 100% goes in right away. People are really forgetting how good he was the first 4 or 5 years in Winnipeg...

Harris led us to the Cup and helped end the 29 year drought. Also helped us win the second because heck we don't get there without his 2021 WF performance. He also helped the turnaround in 2016.

I think its:

Bryant

Miller/MOS/Walters 

Harris/Jefferson/Collaros/Bighill

Not that Reaves, T.Jones, Battle don't deserve a nod

I really don’t think Bighill goes in. 2x MODP might get him there, but there’s no way he gets in before Brady, Harris, Bryant or Collaros at this point and that’s a lot of names to be behind.

(Just to add, there’s no way he should go in before Battle either if we’re talking linebackers)

3 great years here. We’ve had similar stretches from a bunch of other lbers over the years who didn’t go up. Bout a mile behind Tyrone jones. 
 Bighills best years are all with the lions it’s not even close.

Yep battle too. Biggie isn’t the best lber, best front 7 guy even among guys who aren’t in yet. He wasn’t the best defensive player in his time here. He was behind Willy and ba early, then guys like Nichols lately.

Money Medlock goes in the ring at some point

A couple years ago DT did a whole segment on the pre game (mighta been talking to Bauming) about all the players from this core group that are Ring Of Honour players... It's really ridiculous. We will never see this again in our lifetimes.

I often think about how great of a player he was and was crucial in our 2019 run.

I would think that Greg Battle and Tyrone Jones would go in before Bighill.  

Battle and Jones before Bighill in my mind. Not sure who else I am missing at linebacker.

Yep, that LB group (Battle, Jones, West) we had in the late 80's - early 90's was incredible.  I'm kind of surprised Battle isn't already in there tbh.  When they picked the all-time Bomber team for the club's 75th anniversary, Battle was the only LB selected.

Right away? No, I don't think he will and that's not disrespecting Biggie. The Bombers have so many deserving candidates that I believe deserve the nod and have waited for the nod.

Buck to BC as per Farhan...

 

 

Good Luck to Buck! Wasn’t crazy about his play calling, especially this season. Very predictable and not a lot of adjustments. I’m curious to see who Winnipeg looks at to replace him. 

Well our offseason just got a whole lot more interesting. 

I am happy for Buck and hope he does well, except against us. He is at least going to a spot with a QB and a decent roster. Gives him a chance for early success. 

Fare thee well Buck, be interesting to see what he does with Rourke and who he hires as OC. Let the suggestions begin for new  Bombers OC

My first choice would be Jarious Jackson as OC. 
Travis Moore is another interesting name. 

Pierce and Kilam both fail up the ladder. 

Uninspiring duo, imo.

I like Jarious Jackson, he has run some solid offenses. 

People will hate it but Osh for sure will consider LaPo. Would certainly give us the run oriented offense some crave. I'm not a huge fan of run offenses but LaPo would be alright with this personnel group.

According to our guy @holoman

 

 

This fits what I figured O’Shea would do.  I like the idea of some new blood, but an in house promotion is more likely.

Do any of our amateur coaches on here know much about Bourgoin and what he would bring to the table as OC?

Good: Congrats to Buck, and we can finally move on.

Bad: In house promotion? Meeeeeeeehhhhhhhh.

Is this just a guess from holoman or does he have the inside track on something?
